Good afternoon guyz and galz.

I'm getting ready to convert a site to CSS, but in studying all that needs to be done, it seems like an insurmountable task. Therefore I need a little assistance to get me started in the right direction.

Take a look at this site...

http://www.truckshopper.com/

Where on earth would I start?! (aside from the valid doctype, of course)

It really is hard to re-train your brain to move away from tables, images as placeholders, etc.

I'm open to any and all advice.

Thanx in advance.

Start with the content and apply the HTML tags around that which describe what the content is.

You then start at the top left corner of the page and apply the following style attributes to each element in turn to position it against what is already positioned.

margin
padding
width
float
clear
overflow
